go-wol

Wake on LAN magic packet generator for golang. Forked from https://github.com/sabhiram/go-wol and edited to be used as a library.

Usage

To import:

import(
    ...
    "github.com/fthrslntgy/go-wol/pkg/wol"
    ...
)

To use:

macAddr := "a1:b2:c3:d4:e5:f6"
bcastAddr := "192.168.0.255"
bcastPort := 7
err := wol.Wake(macAddr, bcastAddr, bcastPort)
if err != nil {
    log.Println(err.Error())
}

Broadcast port can be send as nil. It is default 9.

macAddr := "aa:bb:1c:2d:ee:33"
bcastAddr := "192.168.0.255"
err := wol.Wake(macAddr, bcastAddr, nil)
if err != nil {
    log.Println(err.Error())
}
